The mission of the tourism advisory committee is to inform and engage all tourism sectors and the community, creating a unified, dynamic consortium that increases tourism in Solvang for  the benefit of the entire community.  The tourism advisory committee shall serve as an advisory board, not a policy board; therefore, it can make recommendations but not set policy.  (Ord. 21-0351 § 1)
